I had a backup, so I thought I'd go for it. Nothing's fallen on my head since I did it. Still testing, I'll tell you the outcome once I'm done testing it.</p> <p>Edit: The member who asked to be allowed to change her grammar errors just thanked me for fixing to edit link, so I suppose it's working now. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-users-to-edit-posts-indefinitely#post-16555 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:26:31 +0000 chrishajer 16555@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Try it and see what happens? What's the worst possible outcome from experimenting? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-users-to-edit-posts-indefinitely#post-16554 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:00:08 +0000 Malfhok 16554@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'll try -1 and see what happens. I was only wary of putting in a large value because I didn't know if there was some database table or variable that was just going to get larger when I changed the number. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-users-to-edit-posts-indefinitely#post-16552 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:52:07 +0000 Trent 16552@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I haven't tried "-1" as the definition, but I was thinking the same thing :)</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-users-to-edit-posts-indefinitely#post-16550 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:29:42 +0000 chrishajer 16550@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The keymaster can <strong>always</strong> go in and edit any post. Your users could email any corrections to the keymaster. You don't really want people going in and changing their words. With no limit, you have no control over the edits they can actually make and they would not be limited to grammar or spelling.</p> <p>Did you try making any changes to the <code>$bb-&gt;edit_lock</code> in the config and see the effect? 1440 is one day worth of minutes and 525600 is a year worth of minutes. I doubt there is any problem making a change like that, but you would need to try it to be sure. I just tried 525600 and I was able to edit some of my old (non-keymaster) posts.</p> <p>I wonder if -1 would allow them to be edited infinitely? Worth a try... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-users-to-edit-posts-indefinitely#post-16541 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 11:09:37 +0000 Malfhok 16541@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have some very neat users who like to edit their posts when they make spelling/grammar errors. But bbPress will only allow them to edit until a specified time is up. Is there a way that I can set the time limit to none or something like that? If not, is there anything bad about setting the limit to something like 999999? </p>
